Likely descended from the Bloodhound (see p.139) and the now-extinct Talbot Hound, this large and resilient hunting dog is a formidable tracker. The Black and Tan Coonhound excels in trailing raccoons, opossums, and even cougars, using its powerful scenting ability. Once it corners its prey in a tree, it signals with its signature deep baying.
